Another week, another devastating ratings plummet for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The beleaguered drama pulled in just 7.68 milion viewers with a 2.7 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic, numbers which were so bad we rubbed our chins and frowned when we saw them. The show was defeated by NCIS once again, provoking more rumors that it will soon be canceled despite recently being picked up for a full 22 episode run.

"Nuh uh," denied series creator Joss Whedon, citing a no take-backs clause in the show's contract.

Not sure how many episodes have been produced so far but I'm seriously hoping they do something to turn it around. I've poked fun of it in past comments but, with Marvel looking to get more shows on TV, I really want this show to become good and gain a steady and strong viewership.

I know many are excited for the "Gardians of the Galaxy" movie but my concern about that project is the same I have for "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."; if they can't sell the product to non comic book readers, it could be a huge setback for future projects. I'm really curious to see how they sell Rocket Raccoon and Groot to the general public.

Pretty CGI and the fact the setting is in outer-space Groot and Raccoon will be sell-able.

The show is not a good show. The lead actor is too flat, the Fitz Simmons thing is stupid, the idea that you grab some person off the street to help up is inane, poor acting, weak writing, show is doomed for failure. Hell the Fraction Hawkeye would make a better TV show.

Now, to save this show I propose that each episode, Skye does a striptease and the odd fan dance and of course, pole dance.Sci-gal joins her more often than not.

'Cause only sex can sell this show.

Oh wait, Dollhouse had a ton of that and it still got canceled.

Okay! Time for sexy Eliza Dushku to make her appearance on the show! Make it a really Whedon show!

This also goes to show, what works in the movies does not always translate over to tv.

All the love for Coulson, but Marvel should have gone with Heroes for Hire.

Yup! Some Cage and Rand kicking butt with their gal pals Misty and Coleen would have rocked.

Did I just date myself there?
